The widely held belief in a central role of left parietal lesions for apraxia can be traced back
to Liepmann's model of a posterior to anterior stream converting mental images of intended …

In the absence of external stimuli or task demands, correlations in spontaneous brain activity
(functional connectivity) reflect patterns of anatomical connectivity. Hence, resting-state …

Seminal case reports collected during the middle part of the XX century, designated the
parietal lobe as the principal area of damage in patients suffering from contralesional spatial …

Recent models of human posterior parietal cortex (PPC) have variously emphasized its role
in spatial perception, visuomotor control or directing attention. However, neuroimaging and …

Experimental data on monkeys and functional studies in humans support the existence of a
complex fronto-parietal system activating for cognitive and motor tasks, which may be …

Endogenous attention is the cognitive function that selects the relevant pieces of sensory
information to achieve goals and it is known to be controlled by dorsal fronto-parietal brain …

In the field of cognitive neuroscience, it is increasingly accepted that mentalizing is
subserved by a complex frontotemporoparietal cortical network. Some researchers consider …

Objective: Cortico-cortical circuits originating from the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of the
intact left hemisphere (LH) may become hyperexcitable in patients with hemispatial neglect …

Hemispatial neglect is common after unilateral brain damage, particularly to perisylvian
structures in the right-hemisphere (RH). In this disabling syndrome, behaviour and …

The second edition of this comprehensive textbook for students of Neuropsychology gives a
thorough overview of the complex relationship between brain and behaviour. With an …
